Final Mastery Prep for Math 141

The Math141.com Final Mastery Prep sessions are highly structured and efficient sessions designed to help you take your understanding of the course concepts to the next level. We’ll look at strategies for saving time and structures for minimizing computational errors; and break down the most complicated topics to make them really accessible.

This session will help you master the last sections of the course including sequences, series and their applications. We’ll work through a large number of previous exam problems so that you are able to quickly identify the appropriate approach. You’ll learn everything you need to know to be able to solve exam-level problems effortlessly. You’ll get to see all the common tricks and patterns, and you won’t have to worry about copying down all the notes, because the session also includes very detailed, typeset, colour-coded notes, so you can focus on understanding the ideas and applying them to highly representative problems.

In the second Mastery Session, you’ll learn how to apply the concepts of integral calculus to all the applications that may come up on the final exam: bounded areas, volumes of revolution, improper integrals, Riemann sums, FTC 1 + 2, the Mean-Value Theorem, arclength and surface area of revolution. We’ll focus on advanced examples and questions drawn from previous exams, so you’ll know what to expect of the final – always a very popular session!

In this session, you’ll learn to master the key skill related to the methods of integration: indentifying the appropriate method. With ~150 integrals to drill, you’ll learn how to proceed systematically and *quickly* so that you can integrate anything that you might encounter on the final. Integration is the core skill of this class: if you master the methods of integration, the rest is easy!

In the fourth Final Mastery Session will be a problem-solving session that will bring together material from the entire course in the form of a mock/practice final exam. You’ll practice problem solving in an exam-like setting so you can get a sense of where to focus your studying efforts in the last days leading up to the exam.

The session will be broken up into roughly three parts. You’ll receive the exam and will have a limited amount of time to solve the first section. The amount of time provided will be unrealistically short, to reproduce the stress experienced during the final, so the emphasis will be on identifying relevant methods and implementing them quickly. After each section, we will go over the solutions togther, discussing salient points, common tricks and addressing any points of confusion. Related problems will be recommended, wherever relevant, and variations on the problems will be provided for additional practice. By the end of the session, you should have a good idea of which topics require additional attention and what to expect from the final.

The sessions include detailed, typeset notes, including a total for the four sessions of >200 challenging practice problems. The notes include carefully-structured, colour-coded explanations so you can focus on understanding the material (instead of just frantically copying from the board), and you’ll have lots of time to actually attempt solving problems, to ensure that you’re able to apply your understanding to exam-level questions, and get immediate feedback. By the end of the sessions, you should feel confident about the sections you’ve mastered, and know exactly where to focus your efforts in the days leading up to the exam.

I used to seriously dislike math because I was scared of what I did not understand. I felt alone, and that my time spent practicing was often wasted. I was stressed about upcoming exams and felt that my options were limited.
I did CAL 1, CAL 2, and Linear Algebra with Jacob, and I can say without a doubt that without his extremely well-designed lessons and practice problems, the countless hours I devoted to practice would have been spent powering through poorly-written textbooks - in other words, utterly wasted.
It is clear that Jacob genuinely cares about each of his students, and is more than willing to put in the time and effort to help you break down any and all barriers between you and the mark you desire.
Frankly, his sessions are an absolute bargain for the value you will get out of them if you put in the time and effort, and even if you simply attend his sessions and don't do an ounce of work beyond that, his teaching style will change the way you feel about mathematics, and learning in general. Thanks to Jacob, new material (e.g. advanced lin alg, differential equations, cal 3) comes more naturally to me. Best time/money investment I have ever made!!! Thank you Jacob!

It's the cat's meow to work with such bright & motivated students ...

Unlike other math sessions, we can actually understand the idea with Jacob. He is great, and he cares about his students a lot.

Jacob's sessions were not only a lifesaver, but also gave me a new appreciation for university level math. His study notes are neat, easily readable, and perfectly summarize the lecture material in a concise fashion (with concept-oriented practice problems and solutions). His Facebook study group provided me with a reliable platform on which I could ask for help on webwork and other assignments. Thanks, Jacob, for all the support and tutoring help this semester!

Jacob's review sessions have been so worthwhile- I leave every one feeling way more confident than before! With the final coming up it feels so great to be prepared for the exam, especially when most of the other students aren't. Thanks, Jacob, for boosting my calculus confidence and helping me prepare for the exam!

Just go to one session and you will understand the help Jacob will have to offer to you! He provides a very clear, in depth understanding of the material you need to know.

Short Version: If Jacob were to begin as a lecturer for the math department, I would buy stock options on McGill rising in the world university rankings for mathematics.
I've never had a tutor before. My usual MO for math had always been to memorize the relevant algorithms for solving problems and apply them. After some experience with McGill's math classes, I learned the hard way that this does not work anymore. With my tail between my legs, I asked Jacob for help, and it was the best decision I could have made - aside from building a time machine to go back and join the Mastery sessions even earlier. Jacob is an extremely skilled teacher who will cultivate for you a rich understanding of the material and the concepts that they build on, one that you will not acquire from merely attending lectures and reading the textbook. If you're anything like me, you'll be surprised by the difference in how you'll approach problems and the richness with which you'll understand them. You may even gain a reinforced appreciation for math itself. So whether you want to understand the concepts covered in class at a fundamental level, you enjoy learning in a welcoming and encouraging environment, or your ass just needs saving, join Jacob's sessions.

Jacob's sessions were super helpful and worth it. I was struggling with my math classes but Jacob's complete explanations and clear notes really helped me feel more comfortable with the material. Additionally, Jacob is a great guy and was always open for questions. I would definitely recommend attending his sessions!
